Starion/Conquest I love the look
If these still existed I'd want one
Late '70s Civics were awful fun 60 HP tin cans on wheels.

ahahaha i sort of feel the same way.
I will own a 914. One day, it will happen.
VW Scirocco II's
Yeah not as coveted as the first gens, but they're still pretty light and tossable. They don't have the mechanical woes of the later Corrados, but are less rust prone than other A1 chassis cars. Both of the ones that I've had were about $900 as found and have needed the usual maintenance make overs you'd expect out of a 25 year old car.
Well sorted ones can be found for about $3000.
I had one when i was 14 or 15. I wish i had kept it.

I wish I had my old one back!! LOL Awesome cars, but extremely limited aftermarket support for ANYTHING.

(Relatively) cheap to buy and the consequences be damned?
Easy. Surprised no one has posted it yet.
The dream.
The reality.

Now you've got me second guessing myself on passing up the Coupe GT here...
I think it would be a very capable autox machine.
I'd also REALLY like a 323GT.

Good point. I have seen a few posted for really low dough. One was like $2,700 with no interior and painted some weird kinda light pea green. But when I thought about trying to put something like that together, the light quickly fades.

I think the guy with the white one still has it. You're never going to find a 323GT. Go for the GC! Parts are dirt cheap!

Yeah... my only problem with the GC is that the F2T/H-type swap isn't quite as straightforward as i was initially thinking. 
But they DO look great!
What do you mean, Logic be damned? My logic is to buy the cheap cars I want!
Looking at the list on the last 4 pages I seem to be living your cheapest dreams.
I just made my $250 Escort wagon into a great DD (Missed the "Dusty Rose" one by a day on CL).
Got the Aspire with the B6T turbo along with another Aspire and a Capri XR2 turbo...kinda had a theme going.
My current hunt is for a Pinto/Mustang II for a 2.3 turbo motor that appeared due to my search for a 5.0 Mustang convertible. Found an 84 GT turbo convertible with a bad motor and got 3 turbocoupes because they were cheap. I did finally get the 5.0 vert but it was too dented and now powers a Ranger. I have fulfilled my yearning for Miata and P71 police cars...Need to build something silly now.
Maybe a Shelby clone...got my eye on an Omni.....I could call her...Midge!
Bruce
i really like protege's tucking tire.
In reply to egnorant:
For some reason, that made me want to link Lil' Eleanor.
In reply to mmosbey:
That very well be the first Mustang II that I actually like.
Maybe I'm missing the joke, but I thought that was a Pinto with a bodykit?
That Pinto is berkleying horrible.
Cheap dreams... Hmm...
Today:
1987 RX7 "Sport" package rolling chassis $200.00 painted Burnt Orange Metallic $425.00
Chrysler 2.4L with SRT4 rotating assembly, P&P head, tubular turbo manifold, T3/T4 hybrid, 36lb injectors, Stratus plastic intake, Superchiller charge cooler, Liberty bellhousing, Toyota R154 transmission $1225.00
Replica Mustang 17x9,17x11 in black chrome powdercoat $500.00 with 255/40r17 and 275/40r17 tires $465.00
There is about $500.00 worth of "other" not listed but this is my hawtness rat naw.
According to this website: Lil Eleanor here are the specs for the car:
It looks like a fairly serious car. Wasn't the Mustang II a Pinto underneath anyway?
Yeah, that's a Mustang. It's a Mustang II, affectionately known as a Pintostang, but still it's not a Pinto strictly speaking.
